Stro: The Michael D'Asaro Story (2020)
A little-known champion
15 April 2021
A tip from a friend sent us to this remarkable documentary. I know nothing about fencing past old Errol Flynn films and "Princess Bride." Greg Lynch's "Stro" brought me up to speed quickly, making the rest of the movie a pleasure to watch. Michael D'Asaro was a complex, flawed, sports genius, as revealed by the army of his friends and students and competitors in candid interviews. The chronology, following Stro through his life, put the important events in context. The pace helped me absorb the nuances of fencing and the rivalries revealed through the many reminiscences. It's astounding that Michael D'Asaro is not more of a household name. Maybe now.
